HOLLOW SPINDLE FOR DYEING YARN IN COPS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 408,668, dated August 6, 1889.

Application med March' 5, 1889.

To @ZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WALTER LPEOK, a citizen of the United States, residing at Provi-` dence, in the State of Rhode Island, have invented a neu7 and useful Improvement in Hollow Spindles for Dyeing Yarn in Cops, of which the following is a specification.

The Object of my inventionkis to provide a cheaply-constructed and highly-efficient hol- 1o low Spindle for the purpose of dyeing yarn in cops by the forced passage of the dyeingliquor, either outward from the hollow Spindle or inward to the same through the body of the cop; and it consists in forming the external surface of the body of the spindle of braided or woven wire, as hereinafter fully set forth.

Figure'l represents an elevation of a piece of .circular wire braid from which the reticulated body of my improved spindle iS formed. Fig. 2 represents the tube by means of which the spindle can be properly attached to the pipes or vessels through which the dyeingliquor is made to pass. Fig. 3 represents the terminating tip of the spindle. Fig. 4 represents an elevation of my improved hollow spindle. Fig. 5 represents a longitudinal section of the spindle mounted for use. Fig. G represents a plan view of a tapering strip of wire-cloth from which the reticulated body of my improved hollow spindle can be formed. Fig. '7 is a detail view showing a modification in which the terminating tip is inelosed by the circular braid. Fig. 8 is a detail view showing a modification in which the end of the attachin g-tube is also inelosed by the wire braid.

In the accompanying drawings, A represents a piece of circular wire braid, preferably made in tapering form by braiding upon a tapering mandrel, and having its end portions f f compressed so as to enter lthe bore of the attaching-tube B and the terminating tip O. The outer Surface of the wire braid A lies in a line with that of the tube B and tip C, and the several parts are secured to each other by means of solder. The tube B is preferably provided with the flange a, by means of which the spindle can be firmly held in its working position, as shown in Fig. 5, 5o the flange a being held between the nutD and the seat E.

Instead of employing a piece of circular wire braid A a piece of wire-cloth A', Fig. 6, maybe employed to form the reticulated body of the hollow Spindle, the said piece of wirecloth being rolled into slightly-tapering form and attached to the tube B and tip C, as de@ scribed.

I-Ieretofore hollow spindles for this purpose 6o have been formed from a tube perforated with small holes, leaving a considerable area of metal in contact with the yarn of the cop, whereas by my improvement I greatly reduce `the contact-Surface, so that the operation of forcing the dyeing-liquor through the cop to color the yarn will be facilitated, and a hollow spindle constructed according to my improvement can be made with comparatively little cost. Fig. 7 shows the terminating tip O as 7c inelosed by the braid A, the braid at the end g being closed over the tip and secured by solder or otherwise, and Fig. S shows the attaching-tube B as entering the cavity of the braid, so that the braid can be Secured to the exterior of the tube I claim as my invention The hollow spindle having a tube adapted for attachment, a terminating tip, and a reticulated wire body, which connects the tube 8o and tip, substantially as described.
